Ford Confirms Urgent 2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall Over Sudden Engine Fire Risk Affecting Over 500,000 Trucks and SUVs
A newly expanded 2018-2022 Ford safety recall has gone viral after reports emerged of engines spontaneously catching fire even while parked. The recall now covers nearly 600,000 F-150s, Expeditions, and Lincoln Navigators equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. Owners are urged to park outside and away from structures until a software fix is applied. Social media is flooded with dashcam videos of vehicles igniting without warning, though Ford insists only a small percentage of the affected models are at risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating whether the original recall last year covered all defective parts, fueling claims that this is a cover-up. For now, Ford is offering free towing and loaner vehicles, but dealerships report parts shortages expected to last months.
